Amber with a reddish glint and topped with a faded crimson cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is herb, grains, stewed fruits, light floral notes.
Taste comprises straw, light fruit esters, grains, herb, biscuit, faint red berry notes.
Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close.
So so affair ... a little on the twiggy side.

28/12/2024. Can bought at the Bury St Edmunds Craft Beer Festival. Pours clear pinkish amber with a small short lasting frothy off-white head. Aroma is herbal, floral, hibiscus, cranberry. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. Drying tartness. Moderate body, average carbonation. Not a hibiscus fan, so this didn’t wow me.

Lightly fruited but very tasty. Thanks Graham B for this one.

Keg draught at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Pinky red and clear with a small uneven pinkish white head. Herbal, floral aroma... I think I am indeed getting a good hit of hibiscus. Muted and slightly fruity taste, wheat coming through here, more flower petals. Clean, sweet finish with a light body and intense carbonation. On the fence here: I like it but it's more weird than good.
